Korea JoongAng Daily raised eyebrows on Friday with a story that South Korea’s Moon Jae-in administration is reviewing a plan to build an industrial complex at the Russia-North Korea border.
Multiple government sources reportedly told the Seoul-based newspaper that the deal is part of a trilateral economic cooperation project involving the three nations.
If true, the plan would be in clear defiance of the international community’s efforts to toughen economic sanctions against Pyongyang to pressure it to end its nuclear and missile programs. It may also reflect Moon’s desire to make independent moves to defuse tensions with North Korea and an attempt by Russian President Vladimir Putin to upstage the US in the crisis.
Moon attended the Eastern Economic Forum, hosted earlier this week by Russia in Vladivostok, where he met with Putin. He reportedly discussed his plans for trilateral economic projects among the two Koreas and Russia at this time.
“The key of the plan is building an industrial complex at the Rajin-Khasan region at the North-Russia border,” a Seoul official told the JoongAng, on the condition of anonymity. “Before President Moon’s visit to Russia, Blue House aides and experts gathered and had a serious discussion on the plan.”
welcome any move to have world peace
Pres. Moon of SKorea is just right in his effort to make an independent move to defuse the possible nuclear WAR that may be started by US Pres. Trump. He knows hundred thousand or million Korean will die if war erupted in Korea Peninsula.To America, WAR is business
Great Move from President Moon, Note: "America and its allies have turn the middle east into a war zone" I urge the North, South Korea and Russia not to allow this to happen at all cost. "Remember your neighboor is your strength during war and Natural disasters"..
dump the Americans. they are trouble makers and good only for genociding.
Lets hope Moon wakes up before it is to late———-now he has to win back the confidence of China’s Big Boss Xi if South Korea is going to thrive as a prosperous, soverign, independent NATION!!
